Bret Favre is coming out of retirement? No way! He and the Green Bay Packers are playing a crazy game of chess right now, and each feel they have the other in Check Mate. Is this even a game? The Pack are telling Bret he has to come back and EARN his job from Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers whose career totals read as follows: 35-59, 329 yards, 1 INT, 1 TD, 9 sacks, in 7 total games. We all know the heroics Favre has brought to Green Bay, but I do not feel some people are aware of what he did last year. He was the only other player to receive an MVP vote and he was one vintage Bret Favre throw away from taking the team to the Superbowl. And they are going to make him compete for his job. I understand he walked away from that position in March, but when a guy like that decides to come back, don’t you just open your arms in welcome. After all, Green Bay did draft a QB in last year’s draft.
What if Favre does come back as a back up? If your Rodgers, you are looking over your shoulder every second of every game. If I was Favre, I’d just start warming up for no reason on the sideline just to mess Rodger’s head. Can you imagine the Boo-Birds coming after his first incompletion or even his first INT? That will not be fair to Rodgers and I think their best move is to trade Rodgers and move on with Favre and Brian Brohm.
What if Favre does somehow get released/traded? If he takes that team further than it went last year, how much egg is on the brass of Green Bay? God forbid Favre gets to the playoffs and knocks out the Pack. I’ve been hearing on the radio that people are playing this like Fantasy Football, meaning we are just plugging and playing like no big deal. Favre will have to learn a new system, but how much harder can it be? The guy has been around the league forever and if you put him around just one playmaker, I figure that’s all he’ll need.
Whatever may lie ahead in the upcoming months, it will be a rollercoaster that Favre is used to and the brass need to learn to ride.
